Hummingbird Robotics Kit

The Hummingbird Robotics Kit is a spin-off product of Carnegie Mellon's CREATE lab. Hummingbird is designed to enable engineering and robotics activities for ages 10 and up that involve the making of robots, kinetic sculptures, and animatronics built out of a combination of kit parts and crafting materials.

Combined with a cross-platform, very easy-to-use visual programming environment, Hummingbird provides a great way to introduce kids to robotics and engineering with construction materials that they are already familiar with. At the same time, kids can take Hummingbird further by programming it with Snap! (based on Scratch), Processing, or even Java!

The Hummingbird kit contains a large number of sensors, lights, and motors compared to similarly priced kits.
